Just catching the thread myself, did you say something about hitting some re-enforced MAILBOXES? I live in AZ and the only mail boxes I usually see of the re-enforced kind are in housing subdivisions n such.. where exactly were you doing 100mph at!? Glad to hear you or anyone was seriously injured or worse.. After seeing that type of carnage do you think you'll ever speed like that again?

wow.. that is bad and makes me pretty sad to see a clean sc like that get smacked... im glad you made it out ok.. but what made you think going 100mph into a turn with the stock suspension you had was going be easy o_O? take it easy next time these cars are rare and we cant afford to lose more ones like this =(

I just recently had a wreck somewhat similar to this. Except i was on the highway only doing about 80 when i swerved thru traffic but caught the median with my driver side tires and the back end of my car slid out from underneath me. Once you catch the grass at high speeds your f***ed. Also instead of hitting a tree i hit the ditch hard enough that it flipped me and then i rolled 3 times. This happened in my 97 Honda Prelude just a couple weeks ago. I had two other friends in the car and they walked away untouched while me on the other hand had a big gash on the top of my head. Went to the trauma center and now im making a good recovery. Im now in the market looking for a nice SC. They look bigger and safer and more luxurious. lol

LOL....If I wasn't so Naive to the rarity of these cars at the time I would have bought it back from the Insurance company....But instead i let it go to auction.
I was the only one in the car. The police said if anyone else was in the car they would most likely have died....I am very glad my fiance was home in bed. I'll tell you this. After working in body shops for years and seeing more horribly wrecked cars than I could dream of counting, I personally consider the Lexus SC to be by far one of the safest vehicles on the road. I should have died at that speed....but my car protected me.

I was referring to Kahuna's Prelude pictures. Sorry chief!
Yeah that front-end damage on the SC looks pretty sick too, but the cabin is all that counts!
